Chapter 598: 598 I Want to Pursue You Again (5)_1
Deep down, she was even more afraid that he would lose himself in pursuing her, and do things he wouldn’t normally do.
She felt comfortable with the way things were, natural, without burdens on either of them.
Eleven propped up half of her head, grinning at him: "I’m not going to agree to you that quickly, President Gu. Please take your time pursuing me. Let me enjoy the feeling of being pursued by a charming man. This might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
What she meant was, apart from him, no one would probably lay eyes on her.
Until now, she still thought that Gu Liancheng falling for her was purely due to familiarity over time.
Therefore, an opportunity like this wouldn’t come a second time.
Gu Liancheng’s response was: "Of course not! Because I’ll succeed, not fail."
"I’m looking forward to it."
The appetizer was served first.
"Before we start, I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Gu Liancheng."
She was about to lower her head to eat when he suddenly said that.
She raised her head to look at him and asked, "What? Are we on a blind date? Oh, hello, hello. My name is... Qianxun."
Treating this as if it were their first time meeting was quite interesting!
It felt as if they were meeting anew.
"I am twenty-eight years old, CEO of the Liancheng Group. I have too much money and have been wondering recently how to spend it... would you like to be the mistress of my house and help me spend it?"
"Oh my..." Eleven cupped her face, grinning, "Mr. Gu, you really understand the way to a woman’s heart. Such a romantic opener! It’s hard to resist."
On finishing, she suddenly slapped the table and beamed, "I love humble men like Mr. Gu! So simple, authentic, and earnest!"
Su Qing hurried in from outside just in time to hand him a small, exquisite box, then excused herself.
Gu Liancheng opened the little box to reveal a sparkling diamond ring.
She was not familiar with the value of diamond rings, but anything from Gu Liancheng must be of high value.
"Wow..." She exclaimed in surprise as she received and examined the ring. She beamed: "Mr. Gu, you really are generous! I just love such modest gifts! It really gets me right in the feels."
The diamond isn’t big enough?
How many carats could it be?
It’s extremely beautiful from any viewpoint!
"As long as you like it." Gu Liancheng enjoyed her exaggerated reaction.
There happened to be a couple at the next table who appeared to be proposing. Eleven attracted their attention with her lively reactions. The girl immediately sulked, feeling that her ring was far inferior to Eleven’s.
After looking at it for a while, Eleven put the ring back in its proper place and restored her usual calm expression. "It’s really beautiful. Miss Shang will certainly like it. Is it an engagement ring?"
"What nonsense! It’s for you."
Seeing that he didn’t seem to be joking, Eleven swallowed hard: "Are you really giving this to me? I thought you were joking".
"What is there to joke about?" Gu Liancheng moved closer, "I said I’d pursue you, so I should at least give you a gift, right? A token of our first meeting."
"..."
Seriously, this is a big gift for a first meeting, isn’t it?
She was just joking before, playing along with him. Who knew he’d actually gift it!
"No, no, no, take it back please. I know you’re rich and for you, gifting a few-carat diamond ring is as easy as lifting a finger. But... I really can’t accept it. You know there’s an old saying ’gifts blind the eyes’, right?"
